@AllanSseky They are sterile 'clothes' . Touching them to iron, would risk causing infections to the patients when operating.

[Brian Tumwebaze @bryn_tumwebaze]

Why intimidate young professionals dedicated to serve their nation?

[JAMADAH @KagaheJamadah]

Up to now I am shocked how a mere minister unofficially revoked a Directive from the president!!

@KagutaMuseveni why are your ministers disrespecting you and you keep quiet.

@RobinahNabbanja why are you disrespecting the Presidential Directive.

Anyways! we need our 4M monthly allowance as medical interns.

[Jacob Otile, MD @DrOtileUg]

Dr Ssenyondo has been the HOD obs and gyn Masaka RRH for as long as i remember and one of the leading pillars of fight against maternal mortality in region. For a minister to start harrasing him publically on things she wont even understand is such a low level. @TheUMAofficial this can not keep happening.

🚨 JUST IN: Medical Interns Escalate Protest

With government silence persisting on internship allowances, newly deployed medical interns have taken a bold stand >>boycotting the national induction and refusing to report to their internship stations.

These are the young doctors expected to serve on the frontlines of Uganda’s healthcare system, yet they begin their journey facing uncertainty and neglect.

No allowances. No response. No reporting.

The question now is: Who will care for the patients when the next generation of doctors is pushed to the wall?
What are we trying to show to the young generation, whats the future of healthcare tomorrow?

The Induction didn’t happen…
Well done comrades for the big fight👏

The ministry has to answer our welfare demands before we proceed for anything in this deployment.

NOW THIS IS GONA BE FOR TRAITORS, YOU REPORT TO A FACILITY, we add your face!!!

No compromise

[Uganda Medical Association @TheUMAofficial]

Guess who the minister found on duty at 1am?
Medical Interns. The very people @GovUganda, @MinofHealthUG et al don't want to support with an allowance.

Oh Uganda may God uphold thee!

It is pathetic that this draconian policy is fronted by officials who are former medical interns.
They were all paid during their time of internship. Lets not even go into comparing the economy then and now.
Why destroy the Health system you are part of？

5% Dextrose for breakfast, lunch & super, then sleep on the coach for the night.
That's how the 36 hr shift is supposed to be covered by an intern with poor parents.
@MinofHealthUG be fair.

@TheUMAofficial will stand with @OfficialFUMSA to fight this draconian shambolic policy

[Kadondi Gracious @kadondigracious]

The proposed health training policy is a direct threat to the future of our healthcare system. Medical interns are the backbone of our hospitals and deserve fair support, not exploitation. We must unite to reject this betrayal of our medical professionals.

[Makerere University Medical Students' Association @Makerere_Medics]

Intern doctors are not students.
Unpaid medical internship is modern-day slavery.
Hungry and angry interns are a danger to the patients.
The @MinofHealthUG should consider proper renumeration of ALL interns under the new National Education and Training for Health Policy.

[Robert Kalyesubula,MD, FISN(USA), PhD-FRCP(London) @rkalyes1]

🔥 🔥@newvisionwire :Thank you for this headline. However, it would have been better if it stated that Doctors and students reject the new (oppressive) policy!
